Foreigners are guaranteed free access (no booking needed) to Covid-19 vaccine in any vaccination centres (hubs) of Taranto district (Taranto Arsenale, Taranto SVAM, Ginosa, Massafra, Martina Franca, Grottaglie, Manduria). To know more about the hubs' working times and days please refer to the official website of ASL Taranto (https://www.sanita.puglia.it/web/asl-taranto). Those who want to get vaccinated should show a valid identity document (i.e., passport) and their STP (Temporarily Present Foreigners) code, if available, in one of the abovementioned hubs.

(Decree-law no. 286/98, Article 35, par. 5).
